Title: Walk On By
Post by: David Kennedy on July 19, 2011, 01:06:55 PM
Did the Beach Boys ever release a longer version of this song? Always loved it but wish it could have been longer than 55 seconds.  Are there any sessions available for it?

Apparently, that's it.

Yeah definitely a winner. Would love to hear Brian working on more Bacharach material from that time.

There are not enough Beach Boys songs that feature Brian and Dennis sharing lead, especially from the late '60s or any of the '70s...

Brian's (and Dennis') voice in 1968 was something to behold. A full version would have been amazing.

Best 55 seconds in music history

there's a vocal overdub attempt where Brian sings the line "each time we meet" but it cuts in a little late and I guess was unusable. what up with that?

there's also the rehearsal version that Carl steers into "Are You There"... would have made a great medley.

There's a mix of this on Youtube (which I won't link in case it violates policy) that seems to have all the missing pieces for a complete recording - any idea where the components are derived from?
